WIDENING FIRST STREEF.
of Property Owners Last
Night.


A meeting of the First street property
owners was held last evening in Justice
Austin's courtroom, ]. H. Book in the
chair. Mr.. o. o. Uranium was called
upon to state what had been done in the
matter of widening First street. He
said that every one that he had called
upon was in favor of widening, and were
willing to pay their shares of the assess.
ment. He thought that the street could
be widened on both sides from Alameda
to Los Angeles street by taking off ten
feet on both sides. Below Alameda the
property owners were going 10 widen
whatever those above decided upon. He
thought some one ought to be employed
to canvass the district west of Alameda
street, and in his opinion it would be
har er to widen the street between Vine
street and Los Angeles. 1t could
be widened to seventy feet without
much difficulty, but to widen to so teet
would entail more cost. Mr.. A. Valla
said he was willing to pay his proper
tion toward widening, but he thought
that assessments of damages should be
made by competent persons.
Mayor Workman said he would at
tend to having the surveys made and
cauvassers should be put on the dis
trict between Alameda and Los Angeles
streets to report what could be done. It
was important that the street should be
widened at once, as several parties were
waiting for the new line TO be run before
building.
On motion Messrs. A. Valla, DIR. Wild.
ney, Judge Stephens and Jacob Phillips
were appointed as committee to can
vass the district between Alameda and
Los Angeles streets, to report at a meet
ing to be held next Tuesday evening,
when final action will be taken. The
meeting then adjourned until that even
ing.

PASSION FESTIVAL.
Three More Evenings at Armory
Hall.

The attendance at the matinee of the
Passion Festival yesterday afternoon
was quite large, and the receipts were
much larger than was expected. The
audience consisted mainly of ladies and
children, who were delighted with the
tableaux and who patronized the various
booths very literally. The receipts of
these portions of the festival have al
ready added quite largely to the aggre.
gate income of the week, and they grow
larger as the days pass by. The pro-
gramme which has been published
heretofore was carried out in every par
ticular, and the recitations, solos, Choir
uses and dances were highly appreciated
by all.
In the evening the attendance was
also large, and everything passed off to
the satisfaction of everybody connected
Herewith, except that the hall would
have held few more, perhaps,
than were present. The passion tableaux
were everything that could bs wished,
and from the scene of the birth of the
lovely little child that represented the
babe of Bethlehem TO the ascension,
Sherman's invention worked to perfec-
ton. The revolving Japanese ladies
and other comic illusions elected rounds
of applause. By special request request
Father Morgan has determined to
continue the Festival during Fri.
day and Saturday. Tonight the
Spanish dancers who attracted so
many on Tuesday will repeat their
performance, and the Friday and Satur.
day performances will be enlivened by
the dancers. The result of the voting
for the most popular young man to
whom was given handsome pair OF
suspenders, was announced, and when
the genial and universal favorite, j. L..
Vignes, stepped to the front to receive
the prize he was greeted with hearty
applause. The vote stood as follows:
j. L. Vignes 267O, K. Quarre 2420, j.
H. Conlan $40, A. Schwamm $50, N.
Schilling 4, j. s. Lopez 3.
Father Morgan has done all in his
power 10 give pleasant week of amuse'
ment to the citizens, and to show that
they appreciate his efforts it is to be
hoped that the three last evenings will
be crowded. The programme for to.
night is as follows:

The first advance in the price Of Ivanhoe
lots was made June LIST as per advertise
ment for several months. For various good
reasons, some of the lots are left at the
original prices for another month. But
most of tnem have been advanced 20 to go

best property offered for the money any
where around Los Angeles; and buyers
should choose their lots before the next ad-
vance, which will be made In July. The
sale Of lots in May was larger than In any
previous month, and the end OF June will
fnd most of the lots sold. All who see Ivan

WEAVING Young Pigs.

Young pigs should be weaned grad.
ually, and the weaving may begin al
two weeks Of age. The young pigs will
then take a little warm skinned milk
out Of a shallow pan if II is caught
and held with its mouth to the milk,
and when one begins to drink the rest
will soon join 1t. After this the pigs
will come frequently into u small pen
for the feed if an opening is made for
them, and at four weeks the SOW may
be separated from the pigs. After the
first few days a little boiled bran and
meal may be added to the milk. but nc
more than a quarter Of a pint for each
should be given at one meal and -four
meals a day. This is ample for pigs up
to six weeks old, when the rations may
be increased gradually at intervals OF
a week in proportion to the growth. AT
this period Of II pigs life there is more
danger of overlooking than at any 9th.

1t is not uncommon for members OF
the medical profession to inveigh
against the almost worldwide neglect
of the important elements Of amuse-
ment and physical training III girls
schools. That so little has been &C.
complished in the direction of correct
ing the evil is probably to be attributed
to the fact that those who have treated
of the subject publicly have for the
most part contcnted themselves with
portraying and condemning the exist
ing state Of things, and have made no
very definite or practicable proposals
for remedying it. A striking excep-
ton is to be found in an address lately
read before the Worcestershire Branch
of the British Medical Association by
DR.. Rayner W. Batten, senior physi-
clan to the GIL ouccster Infirmary. The
speaker did not restrict himself to trac-
ing the increased prevalence of an,emia
and the like largely to the neglect of
girls physical education, but outlined
what seems to be q very practicable
and attractive scheme for providing
schoolgirls with a due amount of open
air exercise having the character not
of a perfunctory routine, but of whole
some and invigorating sport. He
would have at least two half-holidays
a week devoted to games played in n
large open space, and in the absence of
special reasons TO the contrary, every
girl required to take part and to wear
a suitable costume. Hc'propcrly lays
stress on the need Of varying the
games. and justiiics the requirement
by calling attention to the lack Of
symmetrical development in the de.
voices of any one form of exercise,
specifying 1.-THE contracted chest and
the stoop Of a mere cyclist. Am ong
the exercises that he would have
practiccd are swimming, fencing,
cricket, football, tivcs and tennis, and
such games of speed and endurance as
prisoners base, c%ross-touch, etc. Dr..
Batten thinks that the governing bodies
Of the higher schools should first be
led to move in the matter, and he urges
that it is the duty Of medical men to
seek by all means to influence them to
